THE BEST OF TECHNOLOGY FOR STRENGTH AND LONGEVITY IN CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES

304L OR 316L STAINLESS STEEL WITH UHMW POLYETHYLENE SLIDING AND SEATING SURFACES

MEETS LEAKAGE REQUIREMENTS OF AWWA AND BS STANDARDS.

ADVANTAGES

– Corrosion Resistant

– Optimum Sealing Against Leakage

– Rugged Heavy Duty Design

Waterman Slide Gates (penstocks) are engineered for excellent sealing while providing maximum resistance to corrosion. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) sliding and seating surfaces, dissimilar from the gate slide material, provides low coefficient of friction while maintaining the superior resistance to corrosion. Waterman SS-250 Series slide gates can be specified for use in unusually corrosive environments such as hydrogen sulfides, salt water, waste water and sewage treatment plants as well as in irrigation and potable water applications. SS-250 Series Slide Gates can be custom designed for 1.5, 3, 4.5, or 6 meters (5, 10, 15 or 20 feet) of head and also for higher heads. Waterman penstocks (slide gates) are available in normal aperture configurations or as weirs (downward opening). They may also be ordered as self-contained gates or with extension stems and separate operators.
